* The Golden Army in ''[[Hellboy II]]''. Clockwork Mecha-Mooks that put themselves back together upon being destroyed.
* ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]] 2'':

'''Hammer:''' What, why '''"drone better"'''? Ivan, I got an order for '''suits''', not '''drones!'''
'''Vanko:''' [[Funetik Aksent|Peppol mek problum. Trhust meh. Dhrone bettuh.]] }}
** The problems so averted are threefold: 1. no longer a squishy thing in the middle of the machine, which Hammer's suit design proved it had a problem working with; 2. the recovered space can be used for more processing power and more ammo; 3. there is no cognitive dissonance when our heroes blow them up.

* ''[[Warhammer
** Played straight with Tau Gun Drones, though they are only used in a supporting role to the living Tau Fire Caste soldiers.
** Imperial Servitors are this to any Techpriest. Their biological components are more or less used to support their technological ones, rather the other way around for conventional cyborgs.
Line 108:
** There's also the terrifying Phyrexians, who are [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|zombie cyborgs]] who want to assimilate everyone.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'': The aptly-named Meklord ''Army'' monsters from ''Extreme Victory'' are these for the Meklords, with the Meklord Emperors being, obviously, [[King Mook|Emperor Mooks]].
* [[Dungeons
** ''[[Spelljammer]]'' got Clockwork Horrors - a [[Mechanical Lifeform]] acting as a [[Horde of Alien Locusts]]. Low-ranked ones are neither smart not tough, but they don't bleed, don't tire, know no fear, and all that.

'''Cadet:''' Yeah, "robots". ''(laughs maniacally)'' }}
* The ''[[X-Men (animation)|X-Men]]'' animated series as often as not had the titular heroes battling the robotic Sentinels and all manner of mechanical foes, rather than organic bad guys. Indeed, only two characters (good, bad, or background) are directly shown to die at any point in the series, and both eventually come [[Back
* Although most of the villains in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'' are human, "The Last Laugh" featured a robotic henchman to [[The Joker]], called Captain Clown. In an interview, the producers admitted this was done specifically so that Batman wouldn't have to hold back in the fight.
** Another instance, with better in-universe justification, occurs in the second part of "Heart of Steel."
